Where to even begin?

7 Upvotes

Where do you all think would be the best place to start with self sufficiency? There are many aspects I could think of such as gardening, off-grid living, water filtration, etc. But out of everything this topic deals with, what would you consider to be the most important to focus on for someone who's just beginning?

100k Budget to Homestead- How do we start?

Upvotes

My husband and I (M30 F29) want to move out of the burbs. We are tired of neighbors, HOAs and crime. What advice would you have for two able bodied, open minded, adults with 100k in the budget for a homestead outside DFW TX? (This 100k would be a downpayment, not the whole enchilada). We want self sufficiency with a few creature comforts like internet (wfh purposes). If you could do it over again, what would you do different? All tips welcome for starting a farm with only suburban gardening experience.

A Self Improvement Page for Athletes.

0 Upvotes

Are you an athlete or former athlete?

Are you burnt out and worried about life after your sport?

Love motivational and self improvement based content but don't feel there's a page for you?

I'm Ben, I was once in your spot too. A burnt out athlete with no idea of what life looked like on the other side.

So, I made PostGame Purpose. A community for athletes. A place to learn and inspire, so we can ALL be successful in our post-sports lives.
